I spend too much buying food at the canteen for lunch really, and coffees, I think at least 20 a week
other than that, food for the month is usually maybe 200 for the pair of us

I stopped buying food in college this year, in previous years have been going through fierce amounts of cash.

Money got a lot tighter + trying to run car meant that the aul cheese sambos had to come out.

Nope. I dine nightly at Chez Dumpster and the prices are fantastic.

Ah come on it's still much cheaper over say a week to make your lunch than to buy it

I think I spend about 80 a week on food, make most of my own lunches, just eat a lot.

"Save money by making a sandwich out of whatever falls off your body.

I saved €2,000 on sandwich fillings last year by eating hard skin and toenail clippings in between two slices of bread each day.

Ground up cardboard really adds to the crunch of a pubic hair salad."

I spend about 800-1000 euro on food per month. Average salary here is about €300 per month.
I eat out a lot, but when I cook at home I use only the best ingredients and high quality meats etc. €20 per person worth of meat in a home-cooked meal would not be unusual.

Probably another €600 per month on drinks, about 15-20% of my income goes on food and drink. I think thats a good % to aim for.

Nope I live in Ecuador although I do travel to other countries(far east mostly) on occasion with work, although those numbers would be similar for all the places I work.

People wouldn't need to spend as much on food if they ate all they bought instead of throwing a lot of it away.

You're only just in the South Pacific, I thought you must be the King of Tonga or something.

Spend a fair bit each week. The below always feature on my list which come to about the 65 mark depending on special offers etc. I don't eat sweets or drink fizzy drinks or crisps or even processed food so i never really have any hidden costs. Don't eat bread or milk currently either.

25 chicken fillets
2 kg's of turkey mince
30-40 eggs
Porridge
Mixture of natural nuts
Loads of vegetables and fruit

I have stayed in Cuenca a fair bit for work and there is not a chance in hell i would spend 1000 euro in a month there. And i would eat out regularly too.

I very rarely eat sweet things, don't drink alcohol or fizzy drinks and prepare my own food and work lunches. I don't go out to eat (hate being rushed to eat my food) and takeaway is just crap for you in general. I spend about $30-40 a week at Aldi and that is for a lot of good stuff, nice produce section there as well.

I live alone, cook most of my own meals and bring food into work, and I spend a minimum of 50 euro a week. I don't drink so that doesn't include any alcohol.

A two litre carton of fresh juice costs about 3 euro alone, fresh fruit and vegetables another 6 ish euro, milk and cereal maybe another 5...how on earth can you survive on 15 euro? Genuine question.

I think he meant 15 euro a day.

I'd probably spend about spend about 45 - 60 euro a week on food but about 15 - 20 of that would be lunches.

scientific1982

About 30 euro a week.

yoshytoshy

I make my own lunches for work ,I find I get more done in the day if I'm not wondering around shops.

--LOS--

I've eaten far too much money this year
Eating out so much and not just sticking to a proper grocery shop once a week, end up in tescos every other day.
